Tilted S On 1909 Dime

To CCF

First .. good find .. always nice finding silver ..
Barber silver is bonus ..



Mint marks were hand punched onto the die. So it was common
that they were not always in the same position. You can find
mint marks high, low or tilted left or right.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. Tough finding really old stuff around Houston, but I have managed a 1799 1/2 Reale and an 1854 Seated dime and quarter, and lately guys have dug a couple of 3 cent coins and 2 Half Dimes. Pre 1850 is tough to find. I retired in 2002, FAA air traffic controller and later manager, 35 years,and dirt fishing keeps me healthy. Managed to dig a little over 26,000 coins in the last 4 years and about 630 silvers. A tremendous amount of demolitions of older homes and businesses going on here so there is always 3 to 10-15 new dig sites every day.

Thanks again for the info.
